General Information

NMOS control is enabled on a driver level. No changes are needed in Channel Recorder. NMOS connection requests must be sent out-of-band for X.mio3. For X.mio5, the requests can be either out-of-band or in-band.

• Out-of-band: RDS and receiver NIC on the attached machines must be located in a network separated from the essence network, which hosts video, audio and ancillary data flows.

• In-band: The RDS can be hosted in the essence network, NMOS requests are sent alongside the essence flows.

Configuration

• Configure Channel Recorder as usual.

• Open %ProgramFiles%\Matrox DSX-TopologyUtils\System64\Axxxxxx.json with any text editor, where Axxxxxx is the serial number of your installed Matrox IP card.

• Edit the mandatory entries:

  • enabled must be set to true to enable NMOS functionality.

  • host name and port in the section fallback registration server must point to the RDS (Registration & Discovery Server) for manual configuration.

  • use service discovery must be set to true for automatic discovery of the RDS.

  It is recommended to set the Control IP and port to the values shown in the following example:

  Example:
  "enabled": true,"local host name": "0.0.0.0",
  "local port": 8080,
  "fallback registration server": {
  "host name": "10.1.1.240",
  "port": 5432,
  "api version": "auto"
  },
  "use service discovery": true,
  "use dns-sd unicast only": false,
  "heartbeat interval": 5,
  "use secure communication": false,

• Edit all the labels, so that they can easily be identified in control applications or NMOS explorers (optional).

• Save the file and restart either the machine or mvNetworkService from Windows services.
